In my opinion, Hawley is guilty of sedition, publicly raising his fist in support of the rioters. Remember, 5 people lost their lives. Censure does not remove him from office, he retains his title, stature, and power to vote. He is an embarrasment to the people of Missouri and he must be removed.

He knows there was no fraud. He's just using the situation to ingratiate himself to trump's base. He helped pour fuel on that fire.

Absolutely! This Missouri resident is embarrassed by his non-representation of a majority of his fellow Missourians.

I believe he acted without consideration of common good, and acted in what he thought might increase his position for future political opportunities. Might have back fired. He should be censured by Congress.

He knows there was no voter fraud. He knows Trump was lying and he backed it. He tried to take away our democracy and replace it with a dictatorship. I think Gobbels was a great comparison to Hawleys behavior in this attempted government coupe.

The courts decided there was no election fraud and he knows this. He is not upholding his oath to support the Constitution.

And because he used the riots for a fund raising event, even while the capital was under siege.

The Democrats, since Clinton have talked about doing what DOGE is not doing. Yes, Clinton and Obama did some EO, but always gave more lip service than action. Now we have action from Republicans' and still Democrat lip service.

Horrible what they are doing to people. I don't understand how firing people would take care of fraud and abuse. They are stripping people of their livelihoods and it will come back at us because the government will have to cover their unemployment stipends and we will have many more homeless ppl.

About 14.5% of the US workforce, or 20.2 million people, work in the public sector. This includes state, local, and federal government employees. That's way to many people working at a job that produces nothing.

Maybe you should turn of the news and research. Why pay 5 people to do the job of 1. Why keep lazy employees who don't produce when you can keep highly productive workers and increase there pay. See its called rewarding hard work and punishing lazy people. Hard work does pay off.

Elon is not an elected official, not even a cleared contractor for what he is doing. This sabotages democracy.

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

Unilateral decisions from the Executive branch cannot go unchecked (on BOTH “sides”). Just like when Biden shouldn’t have bypassed the SC with student loan forgiveness. Democracy is fragile and we cannot lean towards dictatorship.
